      <abstract>
        <p>Introduction: Congenital hip dislocation is caused by a wide spectrum of reasons, leading to disability among children. Many factors contribute to the disorder, including breech presentation, consanguineous marriage, and the hormone (Relaxin) which can promote ligament laxity in some patients with congenital hip dislocation. Additionally, being a firstborn child is said to increase the risk of developing the condition. The preferred method for assessing the hip in infants under 6 months of age is ultrasound (US). The Graf method is widely utilized among the various US screening techniques for the hip joint in this age group. The purpose of the study was to demonstrate the importance of ultrasonic imaging as a screening and diagnostic tool for congenital hip dislocation (CHD).&#13;
&#13;
Methodology: The Hail Maternity and Childcare Hospital research was a retrospective descriptive study. A high-frequency transducer linear probe from GE Company was used for this study. Over the past two years (2020/2021), a total of 374 newborns were included in the study at the Hail Maternity and Childcare Hospital.&#13;
&#13;
Results: At day five, 59.6% of the infants had a mean birth weight of 2.83---PlusMinusSymbol---0.34 kg. Among the deliveries, 43.6% were conducted through caesarean section (CS), while 56.4% were spontaneous vaginal deliveries (SVD). There was a high percentage of females 51.1% than males 48.9%, The prevalence of CHD was 1.9%, with only seven children affected. Among these cases, three were females and four were males. Six affected children were delivered via CS, and one via SVD, and all had a breech presentation.&#13;
&#13;
Conclusion: The occurrence of the disease was closely associated with the delivery method and presentation, but not influenced by age or gender, which contradicts previous research findings.&#13;
